Prototype to JQuery - how to access originator of event
- by ciaranarcher
Hi there
I'm coming from a Prototype background and looking into JQuery. I'd like to know the 'right' way to do attach a click event to a bunch of elements, but then know in the event handler which one of my elements was clicked.
I've come up with the following:
MYNS.CarouselHelper.prototype.attachImgHandlers = function () {
$j(".carouselItem").bind("click", this, function(e){ e.data.openCarouselImage(e) });
}
I then have the following in my event handler:
MYNS.CarouselHelper.prototype.openCarouselImage = function(e) {
var img = e.currentTarget;
// Do stuff to the image element
};
Is this 'right'? It feels wrong to me as I am used to explicitly passing the element to the event handler in Prototype as I loop through an array of elements.
Thanks in advance.
